The Andrew Jackson Breakfast 28,000
4 Eggs Fried or Scrambled
2 Bacon
2 Sausages- Sage or Bratwurst or Ham
Hash-browns -Large serving
3 of your choice
Toast; Biscuit; Cornbread; [Sourdough Cheesebread 500w extra per slice]; Pancake;
Waffle
1 Juice or Milk
1 Coffee
1 Pancake / Waffle Syrup [100% Maple Syrup 1,000w extra 1st order]
2 Jam
2 butter |
28k? GTFOH. That would cost you a fiver back home.
Wolfhound does the same thing without the crap (waffles and pancakes lol) for almost half the damned price. |
Crap is relative. I'm interested in trying the German pancake. As for 5 dollars or 5 pounds, I've never seen a breakfast that massive for that cheap in NY or London.
When I want greasy diner food, though, I do go to the All American Diner, but that's only because I can order off the a la cart menu. I usually only get eggs and toast or eggs and potatoes, with a coffee.

While I haven't tried the Tartine breakfast, and I'm not saying it would be worth it, they're on a different plane from The Wolfhound in terms of quality. |
Op wanted a good greasy spoon / fry up.
That's what you get at WH. |
Point taken, but I thought we'd strayed a bit from that. |

Can't speak for NY but if you couldn't find an- almost- uneatable- due -to the- size of the damn thing- fry up in London for around 5 pounds, you were either in Kengsinton, Picadilly Circus or Chelsea or a tourist zone. |

The tread title is what?
to the OP (I'm guessing), and to myself, a good breakfast IS some rshers of fried back bacon, 2 or 3 beef n pork sauages, baked beans, fried mush and toms, some fried eggs, sliced fried potatoes and maybe some fried bread or toast, butter jam and a strong cuppa.
Taste is subjective, but the thread title is specific to greasy spoon breakfasts, not fancy continental ones. |

There is good sausage and bad sausage. Both are greasy.
I usually ate beans on toast with a poached egg. That cost a few quid. I don't know about you, but that much meat for under a fiver is a red flag. I'd take a second look at those sausages. |

| I'm trying to remember what the prices at Bob Evans, Tee-Jay's, Frisch's Big Boy, and the like were and I cannot. What I do remember are the unlimited coffee refills and how a girlfriend and I used to meet up there late-night to power through our statistics homework and eat brownie sundaes. I miss those days. |

Pat's Hubba Hubba, an institution for Fairfield and Westchester county, is one of the "See Alsos" on the Wiki link! Not breakfast, but man that place brings back memories!

There was a summer when I used to go to a greasy diner where the coffee tasted like bacon. This was in a low-rent area in an outer borough of the city, but close to the marshland where I was doing research for one of my uni courses (and getting bitten by plenty of mosquitoes.) It was far from upscale. A breakfast with 2 or 3 eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, home fries, and either pancakes or biscuits cost about $10. It was my lab partner's usual. That's more than 5 quid, and the same amount of food as a full English, so nice try.
Also, what was your name before you were banned? |

Why can't you accept from someone who has lived in his country for 35 years that you can get a good fry up for 5 pounds or less?
Why not? Why would I make it up?
Jebus Krips!
Why does that upset you so much that you then go on to violate the tos of this forum by accusing me of being a previously banned poster?
Jeez........ |

Lol for a fry up like in Wales at a decent price, you want wolfhound dude. trust the builder's son on this one innit mush. 
I'd put gekkos 2nd but not as much value and more Amercian style.
If you want German waffles and goji berry juice however, try Tartines |

I never said that I didn't believe you. I said in my experience, I never saw a good one for that price. Good is relative, of course.
I did see brat, bacon, and sage sausage on the Tartine's menu. That's not girly fluff. The German pancake does look pretty kickass, though:

I didn't engage in ad hominem. I truly believe that you are a sock.
Take care. |
